Problem: The existence of the internet has changed the paradigm of thinking and acting of its users. Paradigm, which was less complex than in this era, is now expanding into paradigm expansion and action. The repository as a platform for scientific communication or as digital literacy has begun to be used in universities in Indonesia. The massive amount of information circulating on the internet is the beginning of awareness of the importance of knowing a valid database as a form of the role of the repository institution as a forum for digital literacy. This article describes several institutional repositories in Indonesia based on Edmund Husserl's point of view. Based on Edmund Husserl's point of view, the problems studied are the impact of the repository as a means of digital access and the impact on the institution that houses it. The research method used is qualitative. Collecting data using reading, observation, and experience. The data analysis technique used is the descriptive data analysis technique. The results of this study are that the Repository Institution is a place for storing and disseminating information supported by the development of information technology that also facilitates digital access. In the repository, there are many good uses. For universities, one of the benefits is as a means of showing top research, raising the institution's name if the repository is already established so it can be benchmarked. IR UIN Alauddin Makassar, in the process of its 7-year establishment, has become a pilot repository. On several occasions, the IR of this university has been visited by several public and private campuses for its reputation, which has built the institution’s name. This is, of course, proof that the stability of an IR can increase the prestige and become a role model for other universities. Also, reassuring that IR has a function as a means of digital access, especially in the 4.0 to 5.0 era.
